Run the following terminal commands:

# **C**hange **D**irectory to where you want to store Git's source files
cd ~/Sources/ # where I store source code that I don't work on

Run the following terminal commands:

# **C**hange **D**irectory to where you want to store acani's source files
cd ~/Projects/ # where I store projects that I work on

# Clone the repository to your machine
git clone [email protected]:acani/acani.git

# Initialize & update the submodules according to .gitmodules
git submodule init
git submodule update

CHECKPOINT: You can now open acani-iphone/Lovers/Lovers.xcodeproj in Xcode and build & run it with profile functionality (as long as you're connected to the Internet). We're now hosting the profile info, and pictures & thumbnails on Heroku, using Sinatra & MongoHQ. For example, go here http://acani.heroku.com/users/4c96ee4f1467281352000049/26312E44-7A20-5E47-8347-15C8B5B55A21/40.748470/-73.999815 to see a list of the 20 closest users to the coordinates at the end of the URI.

You can edit some fields of a user profile here: http://acani.heroku.com/4c96fa4714672817ae000073/edit where 4c96fa4714672817ae000073 is the uid

To unlock chat functionality, skip to "Node.js & Redis chat server" to install them locally. Everything in between is just to get Sinatra & MongoDB running locally, which you don't really need anymore now that it's running on Heroku.

RVM: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/basics/

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

rvm install 1.9.1; rvm 1.9.1
ruby -v; which ruby # check if it's working

rvm gemset create acani # create a gemset for acani
rvm --default ruby-1.9.1@acani # set your default ruby & gemset

# Quit & Relaunch Terminal
rvm list default; rvm gemset name # check what your default ruby is

gem install bundler
bundle install # installs the gems for this rails app, listed in Gemfile
bundle lock

gem install heroku

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Quickstart

# If installing or upgrading with homebrew, automatically load on login with:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.mongodb.mongod.plist
cp /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/1.4.3-x86_64/org.mongodb.mongod.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.mongodb.mongod.plist

1. Start MongoDB with the command mongod if not yet running.

2. Run ruby acani-sinatra/seed/profiles.rb to populate the MongoDB database.

3. In Constatns.h in acani-iphone/Lovers/Lovers.xcodeproj, redefine kHost to the local URI in the comment.

4. Run ruby acani.rb from acani-sinatra.

CHECKPOINT: When you build the iPhone app now, it will use the profile info, and pictures & thumbnails from your local machine. Congrats! You're a true developer now.

Follow the README files below to install Node.js & Redis:

• http://github.com/ry/node

• http://github.com/antirez/redis

  Open Terminal to start the Node.js server:

  cd acani-node node acani-node-server.js

  Open a 2nd Terminal tab/window to start the Redis server:

  /path/to/redis/src/redis-server redis.conf

  (Optional) Open a 3rd Terminal tab/window to start a Redis client.

  /path/to/redis/src/redis-cli # allows you to query the Redis server

  For example:

  smembers online # show members in set 'online' srem online bob # remove 'bob' from set 'online'

  open index.html # in a browser that supports WebSockets & has a JS Console

CHECKPOINT: Now, you should be able to send & receive messages and log in & out.

Right now, we have an internal API that the iPhone code uses. Eventually, we'll have a public API for developers of other software to access the acani servers. The public API will work like the Facebook Graph API: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api
